SFIAAFF

The San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival (SFIAAFF), presented by the Center for Asian American Media, is the nation’s largest showcase for new Asian American and Asian films, annually presenting over 100 works in the San Francisco Bay Area. GreenCine is proud to sponsor the Festival’s 30th anniversary program, which celebrates the past, present, and future – not only honoring pioneers in Asian and Asian American media-making, but also new directions in digital and interactive media, sound and youth culture, and gaming.

GreenCine is a proud media sponsor for this year's San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival (SFIAAFF), which will be held from March 10-20, 2011 in San Francisco, Berkeley, and San Jose! In addition to noteworthy international and Asian American films at the Festival, there will be events such as Festival Forum (FREE, outdoor live music and performances), Directions in Sound (The Bangerz, Silver Swans, Taiyo Na & more!), Social Club (have a few drinks and meet other festival-go-ers), and various engaging panels and events.

In this series, "four of the most talented contemporary filmmakers in Asia, and the world— Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Jia Zhang-ke, Hong Sang-soo and Tsai Ming-liang—share their unique visions of love and remembrance."

"I want to make a film that satisfies me first, especially in terms of aesthetic qualities and in terms of truthfulness... If I can have 50,000 people who really like my film, and who can understand what I'm trying to deliver, then that suits me very well. Numbers are not really that important." - Hong Sang-soo, Interview with J. Scott Burgeson, Bug Vol. 3 (1998).

Famed Korean master Hong Sang-soo, recipient of a special retrospective at this year's SF Int'l Asian American Film Festival, will be in San Francisco attending the festival. Catch this years SFIAAFF starting March 15th and ending March 25th.

Icarus Films bring us two from experimental underground filmmaker Robert Kramer, founder and prime mover of the Newsreel movement, a radical leftist militant group opposing the Vietnam War. Milestones "contains multitudes. In a film that stretches and sprawls and often seems to overflow its bounds, dozens of characters around the country — on communes, in cities, on the road, starting families, finding work, reintegrating into society after time in prison — wrestle with what it means to live in the hangover of their dashed utopian aspirations." - Dennis Lim, LA Times.
